The source also says the announcement is imminent. The Firefighters Association has indicated it would support biden if he were to run. On to southern california, now. Residents are digging out from massive mud slides that trapped hundreds of drivers. The images coming in are quite stunning. Motorists nick zurnyk captured this video and said he spent 20 hours stuck on the highway. A woman also got caught right in the middle of it all. Oh, my gosh, this cars going to hit us. Oh, my god were floating all right. With the Los Angeles County fire department. Hes joining us right now. So roland, tell me about the cleanup and how do you recover from this . Fredericka, good morning, and good morning, everyone. As you already mentioned, were in all but in the cleanup stages what thursday afternoon was a pretty dynamic, pretty dangerous situation. Walls of mud and water covering cars, people being rescued off the tops, rooftops of their homes. Very, very dangerous situation. And the focus yesterday was spent on checking vehicles and performing secondary searches to make sure nobody was still stuck inside of their car. We also reached out to a number of homes and conducted Damage Assessment and determine whether or not people were stuck in their homes. Access and functional needs, people in wheelchairs and so forth, and so today the focus is really going out and doing what we call occupant support. Thats helping these communities get back on their feet, clearing their homes of any mud, assessing for further structural damage and so forth. And basically, just helping t s this these communities recover from this disaster. Wow. Its an incredible and so the secondary searches that you speak of. Do you feel fairly comfortable that everyone has been retrieved and rescued . Yes. We assessed initially thursday afternoon, thursday evening about 25 cars, made sure everybody was out, we marked those vehicles to make sure nobody was still stuck inside them. Yesterday, we saw much of the same sort of activity, there are still a couple of cars that are stuck in the mud, but a lot of our fire crews are helping to dig many of those residents vehicles out and so forth. And, again, today, much of the focus will be working with our public works associates, and other stake holders, the sheriffs department, hoping to get people back on their feet and back in their homes and getting life back to normal. Wow, its an incredible scene there. Boy, and you will definitely have your work cut out for you. But so glad there are no reports of any serious injuries. All right, thank you so much, fire department, appreciate it. All right. Well, happening right now, theyre in the birmingham suburb of hoover, alabama. Democratic president ial candidate Hillary Clinton. Lets listen in. On that stage in las vegas with what youve heard from the candidates on the other side. There is a big, big gulf. I didnt hear any Real Solutions from them. About the problems that keep families up at night. How were going to raise wages and create more good jobs for hard working people. How were going to keep our Community Safe from gun violence. How were going to send more young people to college and be able to have them afford it and not be drowning in debt. How were going to get the cost of prescription drugs down. How were going to deal with systemic racism and injustice. I didnt hear anything about any of those issues. And i think thats really what this elections going to be about. Draw the comparison what it means to have a democrat in the white house and what it means to have a republican in the white house. But the economy does better in our country when we have a democrat in the white house. Now, those are just facts. Think about it. Unemployment goes down. Even the stock market goes up. Youre four times more likely to have a recession. Now, we dont have to go way back to the beginning of our country to remember that. There is a pattern of republicans getting us into economic messes and democratic president s having to come in and clean them up. You know, when my husband became president , thanks to a lot of you in this room, i remember after that election in 92, him saying to me, its so much worse than they told us. The debt of our country had been quadrupled in the prior 12 years. The deficits had exploded. At the end of eight years, we had 23 million new jobs, incomes were rising at the top. And another republican president. And boy, did he leave a mess to president obama. President obama asked me to come see him in chicago. Yibt know why. Turned out, he wanted me to be secretary of state. Before we talked about that, he said to me, it is so much worse than they told us. And boy was it. We were on the brink of a great depression. Not just a recession. We were losing 800,000 jobs a month. Now, i know these are inconvenient facts for your republican friends and neighbors. But the truth is, president obama doesnt get the credit he deserves for saving the American Economy for falling into a great depression. Think about this. 9 million americans lost their jobs because of that. 5 million lost their homes. 13 trillion of Family Wealth was wiped out. And so here we are on the brink of another election. Weve recovered 13 million jobs, we thankfully did not fall into an even deeper hole, and were now out of the one we were in. Were standing, but were not yet running. And it is my commitment to you that my mission as president will be to make sure we create ma more good jobs and start raising incomes for hardworking folks in america again. But you know what the other side is going to say. Youve got to give them credit. They are persistent. They are persistently wrong in promoting trickle down economics. They are persistently wrong in saying all we have to do to get the economy working for everybody again, the way it did in the 90s is to cut taxes on the wealthy and get out of the way of cooperations. That didnt work before, it will not work now. Although im not running for my husbands third term or president obamas third term. Im running for my first term. Im going to do what works to build a Strong Economy again i will proudly Carry Forward the record of democratic achievement. Were not going to rest on our laurels. Theres a lot to be done. I do not understand what republicans have against building roads and bridges and airports and fixing our rail tracks and systems and expanding broadband so we can be more competitive economically. And i understand when you ask them about climate change, they all say the same thing, theyre not scientists. But they could go talk to a scientist. Weve got some at the university here. In birmingham they could talk to. Because, you know, we have to face up to this issue, and we can create millions of new jobs and businesses if we do. By transitioning to clean, renewable energy. And what do they have against hard working people who deserve a raise by raising the minimum wage . Its time we raise the minimum wage so nobody that works fulltime is left in poverty. And ill tell you. If you want to raise incomes, you have to. Enforce equal pay for equal work for the american woman. The real emblem of equal pay. Is your own Lily Ledbetter from right here in alabama. Its against the rules to find out what someone else has paid. Which is one of the reasons she didnt know for years she wasnt paid equally to the men who were doing exactly the same job. This is not just a womans issue, a family issue, economic issue. And weve got to get more Small Businesses to be able to create jobs because you know 60 of all jobs come from Small Businesses. And we need to help more Small Businesses get started in america. That means weve got to get more credit flowing to borrow. President ial candidate Hillary Clinton there in hoover, alabama, invoking names of president s clinton and obama saying that im not running for my husband or obamas third term. Im running for my first term to build a Strong Economy again. Were going to continue to watch and listen to this speech of Hillary Clinton there in hoover, alabama.

Nine people were injured, including mince who was shot five times. We have upwards of 20 victims. Hes been called a hero for protecting others. Shots hes in a classroom. Quickly descended into chaos. Had he writes, there was a bunch of yelling and gun shots sounding like fire crackers. Mince says everyone got up and took off. I stopped and held the door open and waited for everyone to leave safely, he writes, he then says he took direction from a counselor that kept screaming someone needed to tell people in the library and i told her id do it. Somebody is outside one of the doors, shooting through the doors. Came face to face with the gunman. He leaned out and started shooting as i turned toward him, he recalled. This is how he described the shooter. He was so nonchalant through it all, like he was playing a video game and showed no emotion. He says, the shots knocked me to the ground and feltlike a truck hit me. He then says he was shot again while on the ground and that the gunman said, thats what you get for calling the cops. He writes in a Facebook Post that he told the gunman he didnt call police and they were already on the way. He then yelled to the gunman, its my kids birthday, man. He says the shooter pointed the gun right at my face and retreated back into the classroom. Hello, everyone. Im doing well. At friend posted this video of him in the hospital. Hes since been released and has this lingering question. Im still confused at why he didnt shoot me again. That was nick valencia reporting.

Hungarys move comes in response to the thousands of migrants and refugees crossing over its borders in recent months. And violence in the west bank and jerusalem is continuing to escalate today. And were just hearing of a fourth alleged knife attack today in hebron. Forces say a palestinian assailant stabbed a soldier in his upper torso and that attacker was shot. Orrin liberman is in jerusalem right now. Rally is underway. Whats taking place . Well, this is a large rally behind me, a joint peace rally between israelis and arabs. The front of the rally marching through the streets of jerusalem. Saying right here that were stopping the racism. There are other signs here that say 67, a palestinian state next to an israeli state. Standing together. This is a rally for peace after what has been two weeks now getting towards its third week of these attacks. The frustration of violence not doing enough to restore calm. Calm, peace, security. Of tension and fear in the air. Doesnt change the reality v reality on the ground today. The west bank and israel where Israeli Police say a Police Officer shot him in the legs, as the Police Officer approached, the palestinian pulled out a second knife when another officer shot and killed him. This peace rally calling for an end to all of these attacks, all of this violence. The death toll rising here. That would be more than 40 palestinians killed in carrying out or attempting to carry out alleged attacks on Israeli Soldiers and civilians. There is this frustration with that violence, with these attacks, and you see that frustration here behind me. Fredericka . All right, orrin. Im going to take a chance. I know its very vocal there. But if you can hear me, these recent attacks what does it do in terms of peoples fear reluctance to trust one another, even if it is trusting journalists or First Responders since people are taking sides . Well, it adds to the tension and that edge where there isnt always that question lingering in the back of peoples minds. Is it safe . Is there, you know, is it safe to go out and we have seen those questions on the streets. From both israelis and palestinia palestinians. Israelis concerned about attacks, what they say is a heavy hand and a willingness on the part of Security Forces to open fire against palestinians. Thats part of that fear, part of that tension on both sides. As a result of that. Israeli Security Forces, israeli have put in very heavy restrictions on the movement of palestinians in East Jerusalem making it difficult for hundreds of thousands of palestinians to move around and led to a quiet in the old city we felt yesterday and before this today, but that is a tense quiet, a quiet not of good, but a quiet thats as a result of the tension, the attacks and the violence. The question when will all of this end . The answer, not today right now. Very volatile situation. Orrin liberman, thank you so much there in the streets of jerusalem. All right, the u. S.
